My name is Ευθυμία. I have a question. Is it Efthimia, Efthymia, Euthimia, or Euthymia? When i was in primary school i wrote Efthymia, now i write Euthymia, my primary school English teacher wrote Efthimia, the internet has all the versions. May i have a reply?
I think “Efthimia” or “Efthymia” is best.
